The Wedding Planners


            
             The conversation I chose to examine was between my 2 sisters and myself as we focused on coordinating a surprise wedding for my parents. As the conversation took place, it was evident how elements defining the Biological Theory, J. Wood described in her book Gendered Lives, appeared throughout our discussion. Within this paper, I will provide details on how these elements guided our natural flowing conversation during our decision-making process, as we demonstrated uses of the brain. There is still, however, the need for development as I show our limitations. .
             As discussed by J. Wood, the distinctions between women and men's communication styles are closely related to the construction of the brain and its development. There are 2 sides of the brain:.
             1. The left side of the brain encourages mathematical, scientific, methodical, sequential, categorizing and logical thought. It is used for taking a whole concept and dissecting it into parts. (men tend to be stronger at using the left side).
             2. The right side of the brain supports creativity, artistic doings, descriptive thought, imagination, and spatial recognition. It is used for taking individual groupings and putting them together to create a whole. (women tend to be stronger at using the right side).
             Quoted from page 42 of Gendered Lives: "Specializing in the right lobe, women tend to have greater aptitude for imaginative and artistic activity: holistic, intuitive thinking; and some visual and spatial tasks."" However, Wood continues her point stating how women also have a better tendency to be able to cross from right lobe to left lobe (and visa versa) more than men (though women reflect right lobe dominance). This switching capability allows females a stronger capacity to incorporate abstract thinking into their communication smoother than men crossing over to the right lobe trying to create fuzzy feeling words. As I compare this theory with the transcript taken from my conversation, I will show how the right brain/left brain portion of the Biological Theory applied to my all female conversation.
